Funnel, pump, simply pouring it in??? EDIT: Nevermind, I read the FAQ and it answered all my questions. :rolleyes: 1998 Silver Frost SVT Contour born on...8/28/01[/i] American Iron Shootout Radial Tire 2 Class Champion, Cecil County Dragway April 20, 2002

I used the Ford syn. at $14.95 a quart without the friction modifier. I drove for a week with some improvement in overall shifting. I then added 2 oz of the friction modifier. Shifts much better than the stock ATF. First to second is alittle knotchy, but not every shift, seems to depend on the rpm's.

Thanks for posting your results about the Ford synthetic MTX fluid with friction modifier. I have always felt that they should work well together, but your the first that I have seen that has tried it and reported the results. Lance, are you ready to try adding friction modifier to yours yet? Jim Johnson 98 SVT
